The 5th Kyoto Course on Bioinformatics for Genomic Medicine
Course on Computational Genomics & 3rd Neurepiomics Workshop and International Symposium on Rare and Intractable Diseases
November 6th – 10th, 2017 Kyoto University

Training course & Neurepiomics Workshop:

The 4-day training course and workshop will provide a practical introduction to genomics analysis in human genetics with a focus on applications in the neurosciences and neurological disease. The course provides attendees with a unique opportunity to interact closely with the world-leading researchers who serve as instructors.
